One said to me this morning, "Steve, don't always believe what you THINK!" And so I got to thinking about that--yeah.
When not drinking I used to think I would never be more than a piece of shit.
When drinking, I knew I was better than the next Peep...or ANYONE else.
I "THINK":
I'll live forever.
The leak in the roof will not get worse.
I can get by without practicing (my violin).
I can get by without practicing (My AA Steps).
Satisfaction will be mine, even when I do not practice "being satisfied".
I can eat a half gallon of ice cream every night.
Plus peanuts and potato chips.
And I will not put on weight.
I can live happy joyous and free on only 3 meetings a week.
A few weeks ago a daily meeting was essential.
She loves me.
She does NOT love me.
Nobody cares.
EVERYBODY cares.
Of course, it is NOT about ME!
My special Island I'll call
Bali Hai -- is calling me.
Every night, every day.
Temptation is more than the name of a song.
It keeps calling me also.
Freedom is "getting away from"...
Blogging is more important than anything in the world.
I am utterly happy and without turmoil.
And I WILL live forever! Hmmmmm?
NOTE: The above are thoughts which I try not to believe, OK?
Another note:
I love living, I love life--
I LOVE! YESSS!
I'm at PEACE! YESSS!
I'm SOBER! YESSS!
And I hope all the same for YOU, my PEEPS!

When someone in my group remarks about the sign on the wall: THINK THINK THINK--she says, WITH WHAT WHAT WHAT????
Another guy says, Just because my head is attached to my shoulders doesn't make it my friend.
Good post reminding us about the unfriendly neighborhood upstairs.
Let's see... to comment here perhaps I am going to need a glass of wine... or perhaps not.
'Trite'... That word really wants to mean something...
And that island.. are you sure that's its name?
I tell you because I live on an island you know?
... and it's very temptating!
Love U Sweet Peep!!! ;)
And this post and the photo I love too!
Beautiful post....i am trying to believe.
i have stayed sober....but have every temptation possible every day...it feels so scary right now.
thanks for your hope. i do love reading. take care my friend...
if they were all true, they'd be called facts and not thoughts :)
i, too, could use a reminder of the difference
"I used to believe everything I thought!" Still do sometimes...reality is tougher in some areas than others!
aaaah, just because we think it, does it make it true???? hiya steve! have a super week!!!
So good..so true....Thanks Steve

Sometimes it is very hard to control our thoughts. The best trick I've found is to just let them pass right on out of my mind. Fleeting, unimportant.

"Hi, Steve!" (waving)
I think I love this post,Great thoughts.
I think the mind is a great gift, if used correctly, I think it will help US in who we become.. I THINK
You sound as if you are having a great day. I have to say that blogging isn't the most important thing in the world to me. It is another great tool for honesty though.
